NEW sCHOOn BUILDING.
The RemodelinG OF the Pavilion
HOtel.-SOme of the Changes.

The RemodelinG OF the Pavilion
Hoiel.-SOme of the Changes.
For several weeks past aIarge force OF
workmen has been engaged in remodeling
the old Pavilion Hotel into a school build
ing. All the partitions, except those in
the main hall, have been removed. the
ground floor will contain the Superln-
tendenps Offices and three class rooms.
The second and third floors will contain
TWO very large class rooms each,
aad the fourth floor contains the
GROWING feature OF the building,
magnificent exhibition hall. 1t is TIL
lull size Of the building. and has very
high ceiling sloping upwards on all sides.
1t Is well lit ami thoroughly ventilated, is
reached by two separate, wide stairways,
and Is admirably adapted tor school eX-
hihitions, graduating exercises, etc. 1t
seems hardly possible, judging from the
exterior, that so fine and large hall
could be constructed in the building. All
the stairways throughout have been re-
built and are very wide. All She doors,
OF which there are two to each room, are
large and open outward.
All OF the old plsstering has been re-
moved. The ceilings are all of wood, and
the walls throughout are wainscoted.
The old windows have been torn out aud
new ones properly hung on weights put in
their places. The floor TINT ers have been
strengthened and new floors laid. The
main entrance will be on the ground floor,
and tasty verapda will probably be
built on the Bull street front. The ex-
terror will be repainted but will not other
| wise be altered.
The interior will be finished with the
most approved school furniture and ap-
| pliances. For the present the mode OF
heating will be with stoves, but 1t is in =
| tended to eventually heat the entire acad-
envy with steam.
These increased accommodations will
DO decided relief to the present crowded
condition Of the schools, some OF the
classes now being quartered in rented
rooms In the Old United States barracks.
Much credit is due Mr.. William Hun
ter, Chairman Of the Trustees of Chatham
Academy, Fay & Eichberg, the arohi-
tects, and ID. l.. Cohen, the builder, under
whom the work Is being so well and 80
rapidly done. The building will proba-
bly, be ready for occupancy by May l.

1t ia to- DO Ordered by the War De..
partment Without Further Delay.
Several DAYS ago the MoENTNe NEWS
called attention to the delay OF the War
Department in ordering a survey Of
Savannah harbor, from cross tides to the
bar at the mouth Of the river, for the con.
templated Improvement TO secure 90 feet

seems, has been aroused 10 en- under
standing Of the necessity for ordering the
survey at once. The engineer in charge
of the Savannah har Dor improvement Vill
In all probability begin the survey In a
few days. The amount allotted for the
work Is not as much as the estimates
call for, but by close economy IL may be-
mnde to answer the purpose. IL IL i'm
portant that the survey shall DO COM
plcted before the close OF the present
hscal year, Juno 30, in order that the esti-
mates may DO ready to submit 10 the

BISHOP QUINTA I'D.
His Sermon at Christ Church Yes
terday Morning.

terday Morning.
Bishop Quintard, of Tennessee,
preached at Christ church yesterday
morning. His text was the words OF Sam
son: AZ will 90 out as at other times be-
fore and shake myself" Judges xvi, 20.
Thrice had Delilah attempted to betray
her husband 70 the Philistines and failed.
The green withes, with which she first
bound him, he snapped as a thread of
tow is broken when it toucheth the fire.
The new ropes he broke from off his arms
ike thread, and when she fastened his
hair with the pin of the beam he walked
OF with the pin and the web. But the
fourth time when she awoke him by say
ing, The Philistines be upon the, Sam
son." his locks had been shOrn and his
strength had gone from MIN. But he
visit not that the Lord had departed from
him, and he said that he would go out as
on previous occasions and shake himself.
He could not, however, and the Phihs-
tines bound him with letters OF brass.
The story OF Samson was used as an il
lustraJion of the folly OF men who go from
aln 10 sin, thinking that they are strong
enough to stop at any moment and shake
oil the letters that bind them. Suddenly
they discover that their strength has de-
parted from them. PeTChance they have
yielded to temptation before and called
halt, and stopped the particular sin for
awhile, but the Delilah of temptation
tries again and finally compasses the utter
destruction OF the soul. From doubts
flIppantly INDUCED in concerning religion
comes unbelief. One deliberate departure
from the law of chastity has been followed
thousands of times by the SUBJECT sinking
iutO beastiality.
The Bishop, in closing, appealed to the
young men in particular to JOIN the rec
tors confirmation class, confess Christ
before the world and fight the best they
can under the banner of Christ crucifed.

After the +. *. and N. system.

Mr.. Austin Corbin, OF New York, one
Of the members of the Richmond Termi-
nal syndicate, is making a trip over the
line of the Florida Railway and Navig a.
ton Company with Receiver Duval. The
jacksonville Herald states that "a gentle
man well posted in railway matters, who
was approached upon Mr.. CorDin's visit
said: 'Pn wager you a fine box OF
cigars that the Florida Railway and
Navigation system changes ownership

pretty sure of, and that is the Plant sys-

days making inquiries and inspecting
property. This same gentleman said the
Plant company want 10 control

as to save their present lines in Florida.
The Terminal say they must have q
Florida connection, and consequently
will, II they scoop it, go to work and con-
meet it with their great system and fgat
the Plant system on Florida soil.' Re
member said the railroader, that the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
system is In the Richmond Terminals
grasp, and that is only forty miles from
the Florida Railway and Navigation,
which is 600 miles of road In Florida, and

She Has Happy.

He was poetical old gentleman
He was travelling il Dakota when he
ran across one of the maidens indigen-
Gus to that soil.
She was bare-footed, simply-clad
lass of 20, with a wildwood air. The
old fellow chucked her under the chin
and gushed forth:
"Ah, my little maiden with the roses
in your cheeks and the sparkle of health
and happiness in your eye, tell me are
you not happy, living as you do so near
to natures heart? All me, how envy
you, so far removed from the sordld
cares, and tolls, and sinfulness that vez
and fret we jewellers in the city gates.
Tell me, are We not happy, little
lassie?"
She laughed merry, careless, rip
ping laugh and said, coyly:
well they say there's no fool like
an old fool, and derned if don't b'lieve
it Come hyar, Tige, it's time for us
to git" and off she tripped, her dog 81
her heels.-Tid-Bits.
